Who is it? Had this discussion with a couple of friends, and we came up with nothing. Then the historians of the last 40 years have succeeded. Ted Williams overall. Ted Williams was 1/2 mexican “Williams' paternal ancestors were a mix of Welsh, English, and Irish. The maternal, Mexican side of Williams' family was quite diverse, having Spanish (Basque), Russian, and American Indian roots.[10] Of his Mexican ancestry he said that "If I had my mother's name, there is no doubt I would have run into problems in those days, [considering] the prejudices people had in Southern California".[11]”

The OP and his friends couldn't come up with the names of two white athletes and then decide between them who was better? Is this a joke?

Hockey... Gordie Howe Alex Ovechkin Basketball... John Havlicek Larry Bird Football... Joe Montana Tom Brady Baseball... Babe Ruth Ted Williams Golf... Bobby Jones Jack Nicholas It would be tough for me to pick the "best ever" from my list . I have a soft spot for Mr. Hockey , and sure am a U of M fan though . I just narrowed it down to Gordie Howe or Tom Brady . And the winner is ----------------------------------------------, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders  Again I cant just pick "the one" . https://www.pinterest.ru/cangell2030/dallas-cowboy-cheerleaders/

We could do this same thread on Latino athletes, South Asian athletes, East Asian Athletes, Arabian Athletes, and Turkish Athletes. It would be fun.

The brown skin peoples of the Mediterranean, plus the Turks, South Asians, and Native Americans are Caucasian (largely) but not "white".

What about Hellen Keller? For what she had to work with, she overcame more than most of the big names. Burned her fingers reading a waffle iron.

Since Jim Thorpe was a "native American," it would have to be Babe Zaharias.
